LEVEL all COURSE DESCRIPTION The Triangle (or Wedge) Brush has become one of my favorite tools for graceful florals and leaf shapes. In this class, we will learn how to use it to achieve these graceful shapes. We will then go on to design festive, bright poinsettia blooms, pine branches, holly, and an assortment of winter themed berries and botanicals, using a round brush for interest. Using these holiday blooms, we will design beautiful wreaths and garlands, and festive bouquets. To add even more drama, we will experiment with adding touches of gold and silver to add a little shine.
